Abstract
Abstract: A curriculum vitae (CV) allows you to showcase
yourself and your academic and professional achievements
in a concise and effective way. Creating an online CV
presenting who you are to your academic and professional
peers. Creating and maintaining your online CV is an
essential tool in disseminating your research and
publications. A scholarly identifiers like your ResearcherID,
is one of the online CV and provides a solution to the
author ambiguity problem within the scholarly research
community.
Keywords: H-index, Improve citations, Research tools,
Bibliometrics, Research Visibility, ResearcherID

Research Tools Mind Map

Research Tools Mind Map -> (4) Enhancing visibility and impact
-> On-line Curriculum vitae -> ResearcherID

ResearcherID gives author disambiguation a good
name, enhancing discoverability and ensuring credit where
credit is due

name

Benefits of e-visibility
• It is a powerful way for researchers to boost their professional profile
– online resume / cv (Bik & Goldstein: 2013)
• Take control of their research (Goodier & Czerniewicz: 2012)
• It helps researcher gain recognition in their discipline (Goodier &
Czerniewicz: 2012)
• It helps to improve research efficiency – disseminating their
research and making it discoverable and accessible (Bik &
Goldstein: 2013)
• It allows for citation tracking and improving your impact as a
researcher (Traditional and alternative) – citation counts, citation
analysis and accumulation of attention data which translates to
altmetrics
• It enhances professional networking of researchers – can make
contact with other researchers and collaborate – grow your networks
(Goodier & Czerniewicz: 2012)
• It allows for wider communication between scientists and general
public – “online outreach” if you may (Bik & Goldstein: 2013)

Research e-profiles
Essential elements necessary in a research
e-profile (Ward, Bejarano & Dudas: 2015):
1. Electronic representation of the
researcher online
2. Researcher/research online reputation
3. Researcher/research online
discoverability and accessibility

Why should I care about my online
presence?
• To make your research and teaching activities
known
• To increase the chance of publications getting cited
• To correct attribution, names and affiliations
• To make sure that a much as possible is counted in
research assessments
• To increase the chance of new contacts for research
cooperation
• To increase the chance of funding
• To serve society better

Author Identification Systems
Author name disambiguation and the
association of scholarly works with the
correct author have long been a problem for
those wishing to develop a comprehensive
list of publications for individuals.
Source: A. B. Wagner, “Author Identification Systems,” Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2009.

The Challenge at Hand
• Inconsistent name formats caused by the authors themselves or
editors
• Various transliteration systems, especially where different non-
Roman alphabet names result in the same transliterated Roman
alphabet name.
• Legal name changes
• Cultural variants in the position of surnames
• Compound or hyphenated names
• Highly similar names sometimes even doing similar work at the
same institution.
• The large number of common names, especially certain surnames in
many cultures.
Source: A. B. Wagner, “Author Identification Systems,” Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2009.

• Build an online an accurate list of research
publications by uploading/importing the
research publication information from various
platforms/systems
• Automatically track times cited counts &
citation metrics, calculates H-Index
• Citation counts, metrics & H-index are current
and publically visible
• Visualization tools e.g. collaboration networks
Researcher/research online discoverability
and accessibility

Why online CV.?
Increased access to
publications leads to higher
visibility and thus increased
impact.

What is ORCID ?
The ORCID
• Unique, persistent
identifier for researchers
& scholars
• Free to researchers
• Can be used throughout
one’s career, across
professional activities,
disciplines, nations &
languages
• Embedded into workflows
& metadata
• API enables
interoperability between
siloed systems
The ORCID Organization
• Non-profit, non-
proprietary, open, and
community-driven
• Global, interdisciplinary
• Supported by the
membership of
organizations using the
ORCID API
• Funding
organizations
• Professional societies
• Universities &
research institutes
• Publishers

EBSCO Information Services joins
ORCID
IPSWICH, Mass. — October 22, 2013 — EBSCO
Information Services (EBSCO) announces it is now a
member of Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID),
an open, non-profit, community-driven effort to create and
maintain a registry of unique and persistent researcher
identifiers. ORCID works with the community to embed
these identifiers in research workflows and systems to
connect researchers with their scholarly activities and
contributions.

Why get an ORCID identifier?
Benefits of getting an ORCID iD include:
• Ensuring researchers get credit for their work
• Reducing time to identify scholarly output (see “Publisher integration,” below)
• Enabling scholars to keep track of and report on their work with funders, publishers and
institutions
• Repurposing data for use in CV generation, citation repositories, BU Profiles, annual reports,
faculty web-sites, and other systems (see “Grant submission integration,” below)
• Tying individuals to their scholarly work should make finding academic papers easier and more
accurate
Publisher integration: Elsevier, Thomson Reuters, Nature and other major publishers have begun integrating ORCID
iDs into the manuscript submission process, and embedding ORCID identifiers across their scientific and scholarly
research ecosystem. This will save authors time during submission, and enable automatic updating of author
bibliographies when articles are published. That information can be ingested into BU systems, at each scholar’s
discretion.
Grant submission integration: NIH, NSF and other federal agencies are planning to integrate ORCID iDs into the
ScienCV platform, for linking researchers, their grants, and their scientific output. The US federal government has been
working to create a fed-wide profile system to streamline the grants and contract application process and reduce the
data entry burden for investigators, and ORCID holds promise to be part of the solution.

The 36 faces of Jens Åge Smærup Sørensen: dipthongs, accents,
contractions and transliterations produce dozens of variations in a
hypothetical name. By claiming a unique ORCID, researchers can avoid
fragmentation of identity and identity ambiguity. (Slide by Mogens
Sandfær of DEFF)

Build an online Curriculum Vitae
• Register with ResearcherID (Web of
Science) and ORCID
See more at: http://libguides.library.curtin.edu.au/content.php?pid=417077&sid=3408994
ResearcherID – an older id system associated with the Web of Science (WOS).
Your ORCID and ResearcherID profiles can easily be linked. Citation counts for
publications in ResearchID are automatically updated from WOS.
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) – a new, broadly supported
researcher profile that creates a unique author identification number. By
creating an authoritative publication list associated with your ID number, you
can minimize confusion with other researchers with similar names.
